lyrics

Wouldn't it be lovely
to name your daughter Nectarina
Sphere of sunshine ripe and reddened
Tender sweet and tasty, too

Wouldn't it be lovely
if she were a ballerina
gauzy skirts and arabesques
and slippered toes like sleek bamboo

Nectarina, Nectarina
Dance horizons, rise and set
Fill the hollows
Dart like swallows
there is no tomorrow yet
Bright the smiles we oft forget

Wouldn't it be dreamy
To date a boy named Avocado
dark and dashing, cloaked in leather
creamy butter-soft within

Wouldn't it be dreamy
If he had no false bravado
swing his axe, observe the tracks
and quietly be listening

Avocado, Avocado
Ripen to the rain and wind
Roll your sleeves
and laugh like leaves
Goals & weeds & things to thin
Rest upon my loving skin

What if Nectarina took a shine to Avocado
And broke out in a sunny smile
while trying on his name

What if Avocado went all shy with Nectarina
She's too smooth and I'm too rough
We're not at all the same...

Nectarina, Avocado
I will find them in the woods
an autumn stroll
with stories told
of how they came to where they stood
Both found the other's heart-shaped pit was good
